Nine months after a earthquake struck Haiti, more than one million people are still living in camps in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. With so many people living in close areas, people of the government have been very scared a major spread of disease will spread through the contrey. Now, they are fighting to prevent a deadly disease from spreading to the camps that the people are living in rite now. They didn't succeed. Over 3,000 people got the sickens. The sickens is called cholera. It is pronounced kol-er-uh.

Cholera spreads when people drink dirty water. The people think that the river Artibonite was the thing that caused the cholera disease. This is what Jean-Francois St. Felix said
"We know that the disease is affecting the community near the river," says Jean-Francois St. Felix, who works for Haiti's National Department of Water Supply and Sanitation. "We are in the middle of informing people in the region."
Haiti has enough medicine to help over 100,000 people. They have raised that much money to do that and other donations have bean made from other agencies.
"It's not difficult to prevent the spread to Port-au-Prince," said Health Ministry director Gabriel Timothee. "We can prevent it."

This video talks about the new touch screen table that can virtually do anything! It can put a picture in a phone with a slip of a finger across the table. It can also figure out what is on the table and it can take a picture out of a camera and it will just pop up on the table. Without all the hassle of all the cords and wires plugging it into the computer and into the phone.

I chose this video because it interested me on how it works and on what kinds of cool things you can do on it and with it. I found this video just by looking through the sites and I just thought that it would be fun and cool to read. I learned that anything can be possible if you put your mind to it. So that is all you need to know!!
